Japanese Angler’s Secrets

Slow pitch jigging really captured my imagination. Not only it’s effective as a fishing method, I was fascinated that it was well thought out in every details and everything can be explained logically.
Of course it was very difficult first. Sato Sensei’s DVD was the only source of my learning. I have been trapped in my misunderstandings. I have wasted my money on something I didn’t need. I’ve been in a fog but still it was fun learning.

It was my sheer passion to share this fishing style with the world when I started this project in February 2013.
I became an agent for Seafloor Control and started selling the jigs I love. Then so many people started asking me for other things too. I didn’t realize that Japanese products we take for granted here are so hard to reach for many parts of the world. So I started helping people purchase from Japanese shops for my 10% handling fee.

I’m a weekend angler. I’m not a pro. Or I’m not a retailer.

The fuel of this project is only my passion to share this game I love and help people have fun with it. Not to make it a big business. It’s a fun for me. I would like to keep it a fun. I make my living on other things.

Even though there are certain things I can’t do and there are some times that I can’t reply right away because I’m not a full-time retailer, I do live up to my responsibilities for those who trust me. And I really appreciate that so many people have trusted me and helped me grow this project.

Thank you so much! This is my second order with you. I’m amazed at the time you take to teach me what I need, after you take the time to learn my conditions in Florida. You never push me to buy more than I need, and I can’t believe it arrives in 5 days. Your service and knowledge is second to none.

Hello Tatos, Please can you give me a hint. I am willing to buy a
Shimano Ocea Jigger 1501HG for slow pitch jigging, as a rod I have a Palm Metal witch MTGC-633SF,What do you think about this set up.Now I am confused about the handle of the reel. I am right handed, but when I use my shore jigging reels and spinning reels I can use very well the left handed reels.Shell I go for a left handle Ocea Jigger. What is your opinion?
Thanks

Hi Gerald.
A lot of anglers change to righthand reel when they start vertical jigging with overhead tackle. Just because some overhead jigging reels used to be only available for right hand. But these days, there are more reels available for both hands. So you don’t really have to change now and you still have a lot of options.
Technical wise, there’s no need to be a particular hand since you don’t cast anything.

For OJ1500 series, the normal handle is too short at 70cm. You can buy a 85cm handle arm for OJ2000 which fits OJ1500. JPY2800 + shipping and handling. Let me know if you need my help.

Hello Totos,
Greetings from the Westcoast of Ecuador. After waiting for what seemed an eternity (not your fault, postal service) I received my items. I would like to thank you for the excellent service and courteous communications. Good fishing tackle is hard to come by here in South America, glad I found your website. Thanks again. Cheers, K

Hi Toto
Thanks for the comprehensive write up on Slow Jigging – types of rods, reels and techniques. To tell you the truth, I stopped fishing for nearly 8yrs and determined to re-start this past time activity again.Yes you can imagine that my reels and rods are of 2010 era. So much have changed since and now the reel and rod and even jiggers from a technology perspective. Even the technics on jigging have evolved such as slow jigging. There are few other enquires that I need your guidance… esply on the reels that I have now. Let me take some photos of my reels . My name is Lawrence Chew and I am from Singapore
